Airport expansion at a time when increasing carbon emissions are the biggest threat to mankind is absurd and should not be countenanced. We are supposed to be heading towards net zero and limiting global heating to no more than 1.5 degrees. We are already going to fail on that measure. An expansion of air traffic would be a disaster. We need to be taxing aviation fuel and discouraging so many journeys being taken by air not increasing them. I object in the strongest possible terms
